I wish you could see it,
you wouldn't even recognize it now.
the house you left is derelict and in ruins,
even casual passerbyers can detect the faint scent of mold that grows in every corner.
the paint is chipped and old, the sidewalks are cracked, even the shutters are falling off.
I overheard the neighborhood kids calling it "the haunted house" the other day while running away giggling.
I wish you could see her,
you wouldn't even recognize her now.
the girl you left is a haggered, haunted old woman of 50.
bitter and cold she smiles only when she speaks of you.
she's told me stories about you as though they happened just yesterday,
she talks about you in a way that makes her feel as though you may come through the door at any moment.
and all i can do is listen.
